FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention belongs to the plant resources development field and relates to a kind of raw materials of edible product or biochemical product.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus is a kind of herbs belonging to Abelmoschus of Malvaceae. Its code in China National Standards GB/T14467-93 implemented on Jan. 1, 1994 is 6000010003. In the document with the publication number CN101002536A, Hibiscus manihot is an optimally selected population of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus. Many documents and published papers on the medicinal development of the plant all claim that it is nontoxic. The inventor investigated the people who ate this plant in the society and there were several thousand people who ate entire fresh twig and ground powder of the entire plant. Esculentus (Linn.) Moench of the same genus with Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus has the China National Standard code 6000010002, whose kernel development has no application scheme. There are documents referring to the practical application cases. For example, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations mentioned in Tropical Plant that “ . . . it is planted as vegetable and its green and long pods are harvested. The unripe pods contain a kind of adherent substances. The seeds of the ripe pods are sometimes collected as chicken feed, which can supplement protein required by monogastric animals. It is said that the seeds contain cottonseed phenol”. There has been no any second document with Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel product as the theme besides those proposed by inventor of the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The objective of the present invention is to provide a kind of high protein materials and kernel fat for edible or bio-medical raw materials. The protein content of the high protein materials is 32.5% and the quality of the protein is as good as soy protein, but they don't contain harmful biological enzymes which exist in the soy protein, such as the harmful saponins and so on. The kernel fat is rich in natural Vitamin E, oleic acid and linoleic acid, whose quality is superior to sallow thorn oil highly recommended by NASA.

The design of the present invention is that it is prepared by removing impurity and then cracking the shell of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed; and removing the seed shell to separate the particle powder of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed, and degreasing the particle powder of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed.

Specifically speaking, an Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel product prepared by processing Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel, wherein it is characterized in that it is prepared by removing impurity and then cracking the shell of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed; and removing the seed shell to separate the particle powder of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed, and degreasing the particle powder of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed.

Remove impurity, crack the shell of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed, remove the seed shell to separate the particle powder of the kernel and then mechanically degrease the particle powder of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel. The Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel after degreasing is called the oily pure product, namely the oily pure product of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel. Remove the impurity of the oiliness from degreasing the particle powder of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed and the product is called the fat product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel.

Extract and degrease the particle powder of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel with seed shell removed or the oily pure product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel mechanically degreased and the degreased Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel is called the pure product, namely pure product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel. Remove the impurity of the fat from decreasing and the product is called the fat product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel.

Determine the water content of the oily pure product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel which is degreased mechanically and dry and evaporate the water content at the temperature below 180 degrees centigrade, so as to control the water content below 16%.

Determine the extraction medium content in the pure product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel degreased by extraction, remove the extraction medium by heating at the temperature below 120 degrees centigrade and evaporate the water content, so as to control the water content below 16%. The extraction medium content is controlled within 50 mg/kg according to national standard.

Disposal of the kernel fat from degreasing the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel: Remove the impurities of crude oil made from press degreasing or extraction degreasing by static sedimentation first, then separating the fat from the sediments and finally treat it routinely.

The invention product is used as edible or bio-medical raw materials.

The optimal selection of above mentioned Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius is the Hibiscus manihot population of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus, mentioned in the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.

The specific procedures are:

I. Clean the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seeds and remove dust, sand and plant fragments, etc. Use the air separation and screening equipment for cleaning the grains to clean the seeds and adopt the operation for cleaning wheat, barley and other grains. The cleaned Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seeds are called pure seeds.

II. Crack the shells of the cleaned Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus pure seeds. The weight, thickness and robustness of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seed coat is greater than all the grains and can be compared with the cotton seed shell. However, there are kernel membranes between the kernels in the cotton seed shells which are easy to peel off, just like the buckwheat in the grains, while the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seed shell is closely combined with the kernel and it is hard to peel off with the shucking equipment, so corresponding shell cracking treatment must be carried out. There are three methods to crack the shells: the first is to crack the shell with the rolling equipment for grains; the second is to hit the shell with the breaking equipment; the third is to crack the shell with swelling equipments. The Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seed after cracking is called pre-material.

III. Remove the shell of the cracked Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seed, namely the pre-material. The property of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seed shell is even tougher than that of the cotton seed shell and it is hard to grind it just like the husks of wheat and millet for edible. If not removed well, besides the product application, the degreasing process will also be influenced directly, so corresponding method shall be taken to remove the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus seed shell. There are three methods to remove the shell: the first is to sieve and separate with the normal sieving method for grains; the second is air flotation method to remove wheat bran for making flour; and the third is to peel off the shell of the swelled seed with the method for processing the pine nuts of the pines. The particle powder of the shelled Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel is called pure material.

IV. Degrease the particle powder of the shelled Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel, namely the pure materials. There is more than 15% fat in the pure materials, which is very easy to oxidize without degreasing, so it is difficult to store and transport the products and the flavor and protein content control will be influenced. Therefore, degrease the pure materials timely after there are obtained. For the production technique design of non-automatic procedure and continuous production, the degreasing time after getting the pure materials shall be less than 21 days under the conventional condition. There are two degreasing methods. One is direct degreasing with the mechanical pressing or screw extrusion the same as obtaining the cotton seed oil, the particle powder of the decreased Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed is called the oily pure material, namely the oily pure material product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius, and the fat from degreasing is called the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel fat product. The other is to extract and degrease the pure materials or the oily pure materials after press degreasing the same as the method for extracting soybean oil, the particle powder of the degreased Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel is called the pure material product of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel and the fat from degreasing is called the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel fat product.

V. During the completion process of the present invention product, three substances are got from the above three-step technique, oily pure materials product, pure materials product and kernel fat. If the three substances are not suitably treated, it is hard to control and maintain their quality and it is difficult to meet the standard and apply during the storage, transportation and application process. Therefore, corresponding disposal must be carried out on them to make them become the invention products. There are three disposals. The first is to determine the water content of the oily pure material seed powder, dry and evaporate the water at the temperature below 180 degrees centigrade, so as to control the water content below 16%. The second is to determine the content of the extraction medium in the pure materials, heat and remove the extraction medium at a temperature below 120 degrees centigrade and evaporate the water at the same time to control the water content below 16% and the extraction medium content below 50 mg/kg. The third is disposal of the kernel fat. Remove the impurity of the crude oil from press degreasing or extraction decreasing production by adopting static sedimentation first, then separating the sediments and finally carrying out the routine treatment.

VI. The Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius seed powder products treated by the above five processes are called products of the present invention. The above mentioned oily pure materials are called oily pure material product of the Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel, the pure materials are called Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel pure material products, kernel fat is called Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius kernel fat product. The three products are used for edible or pharmaceutical raw materials as the filling respectively.

The optimal selection of above mentioned Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) medius is the Hibiscus manihot population of Abelmoschus manihot (Linn.) Medicus mentioned in the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.
